While following the trail of this strange substance, Tobias and his friends began to see things, like strange Creatures not of their world, trying to communicate with them.  What is their message or purpose? Tobias is unsure as the nightmares and beast seemingly attempt to harm him and all life. As they dig deeper in, old rivalries, some century's old come into the picture.  Grayland, a country of extreme technology stirs once more. During Tobias time in the police academy for his hometown, he had come face to face with the most brutal of zealots. He and the rest of the crew managed to drive them back, but not without repercussions.
